The HD20 id a great projector still, but the HD25e further improves the 2D image and has longer lamp life, and much higher contrast ratio for better blacks, etc. Then it also has full HD 3D bulit in as well. So if you can afford it go for the HD25e if not then the HD20 will still likely make you very happy as it has a great 2D image even today.

Can anyone confirm. How does this XGA (DVD) resolution projector hold up as as inexpensive home theater projector?.. Good refresh rate?.. How big can the image get before pixelating?..

Sorry for the confusion myself !In fact, the projector why I complained , was the EPSON 8345 ! Why he gave me a big problem with the FOCUS !

Go to the Optoma Web Site, Support, Distance Calculator and enter 103" for screen size and the throw Range is 11'3" to 13'6". I am very happy with the Optoma HD25e , very bright, sharp display.

Yeah!!.. Maybe space would be ok, you wanna spend money? buy this thing.. otherwise look for another projector (maybe a little more expensive, but operational)

I mainly watch bluray movies and experience no blur. I have also watched 3D movies, really nice on a big screen. I'm using 106 inch screen. I did watch some football last year and it looked really good. This projector has been awesome so far, if you are thinking of buying one spend the extra money and get the 5020 over the 3020.

Hello Gary;Sorry I can't help you with the comparison between the HD33 and the Epson 5030UB. I have a Optoma GT700 3D and purchased the Epson 5030UB in December. It has great color, clarity and brightness. I use my as a portable for playing mainly blurays. One nice feature is the zoom. Once I get the picture within the area of the screen I can use the zoom to square it in to the frame. The reviews I read convinced me to wait until this projector was available. Hope this helps.

In the product description below it says that it is the HC8000D-BL. I would recommend getting one of the new Sony VPL HW40ES/B or even the Epson 5030 projector. I'm not really impressed with the 8000. I've installed dozens of the 7800's and a couple 8000's. The 8000's had issues right out of the box, but the Sony's and Epson's have been perfect right out of the box.

I am sorry you are having problems. I also ordered this projector, but promptly sent it back as I was dissatisfied with it. I recommend you do the same. I ordered a different model and am very happy with it. I use it for Keynote presentations as well as showing movies. I could never have done that with this model you have. I then ordered the Optoma W303, yes, more expensive, but IMHO well worth it. As they say, "you get what you pay for, if you don't pay much, you don't get much".

My opinion is that this projector is too bright for a personal home theater. I use it in very large conference rooms. For a home theater, I would use something like an Epson 1760W. It has a great picture and won't over power the room.

Yes, I used this projector to replace an optoma HD20. Mine is also ceiling mounted, I used the same mount in the same location.

Check out this link here:http://www.projectorcentral.com/Optoma-HD25e-projection-calculator-pro.htmIt helps you calculate throw distance and size depending on how far the projector is from the screen.The Optoma is an excellent projector and great value for money but, compared to some other projectors, is a little more inflexible in placement and sizing options.I have a 106" screen projected from about 13' back. Looks great, no complaints.

I have mine in a small bedroom and the projector is about 10ft from the wall, i get about 100" screen size. The only issue i have is that i sometimes hear the projector switch from light to dark scenes. Even on ECO mode. but i am very happy with this projector and would buy it again.

The only downside for a home install is having enough room. The projector needs to be about 15 ft away (thats my guestimate) from the wall in order to focus properly. But it's a solid projector that is VERY bright. We've had no trouble with ours.

Honestly I would pick another projector. It works very well...the only reason why I would say pick another one is because the room has to be very dark in order to see the image projected. Any light makes it hard to see the image. If projected in daylight, don't even bother with this one because you will never see the image.
